Why is society encouraging little girls that "brats" and "b****es" are GOOD things??

[Shakezula]

The little dolls in all the stores called "BRATZ." When I was younger, a "brat" was about the most offensive thing my parents could call me. It made me feel HORRIBLE.

Then I go into Spencer's a few months ago and see pillows, little tight shirts, accessories, chairs, blankets- all pastel pink, with the word "B****" printed on it in cutesy-black-writing.

And the shirts that boast "It's all about ME."

What are we teaching kids today?? Parents, what do you think of this trend?

What has happened to you??? Didn't you used to be some screaming liberal nutball???

"It's all about me" doesn't disturb me. "B****" is juvenile but I can get past it even though I don't care for profanity on clothing. The ones I don't like are the "Pimp" shirts. I saw one chickie the other day wearing a "Pimp Me" t-shirt - she might have been 13. What the hell is her mother thinking???

In general, I don't like anything that degrades women and turns them into sex objects :hollowsoul:. And I think it's a pisspoor message to send to our young girls.

There is a model car series called Homies. They're lowered cars with large chrome wheels and come with little pimp and hooker action figures. Not a real good message to be sending to young boys either.

Those dolls are the strangest looking things. I got a few for my neice for Christmas and clothes too, but they have giant fricken heads that are too big for doll's body. Strange

Now this just isn't right....This is the aftermath from letting the pimp gangster women degrading crap rap play on the radio and be sold .

Any kind of descent human being knew that Rap was corrupting yesterdays youth, yet no one did anything...No one makes a stand anymore.

Now look what we got homie da pimp and hooker dolls. Is this how GI Joe got replaced by Mac Daddy Pimp and Barbie got replaced by LaTeasya Tramp.

What we need to do is bring back some good old fashioned
Tar and Feathering to the type of Jack a$$ politicians that thought outlawing Rap would be unconstitutional and infringing on the freedom of speech.

Gov Brown of California spoke the truth. Quoted that the American government is so far corrupt that I as president he would not be able change anything. Short of a American revolution where the people regain control of there government, I don't see where anything else would not work.
This was his answer when asked if he was elected as president how would he change government policies after he said I can't.
It seems we don't want the truth

Wrongo! I too don't prefer rap music. You can't spell 'rap' without 'crap'. However, It is not rap music as a genre it is gangster rap and the like. Big difference.

Did anyone say YOU G rap Rap crap..
Its all women degrading

I guess I won't be expressing my love for the Beastie Boys on this forum anytime soon I think it is interesting how in '86 they talked about women as sex objects and now, in 2005, they talk about respecting women. Maturity or just trying to get more female fans?
